Scenery is nothing more than poetry.<br /> Love is nothing more than chemicals.<br /> &#039;Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.<br /> One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.


Said you forgot,
That smile of the devil,
Appears exactly like it always would.
As I walk up and down this empty street,
Because I certainly knew you were no good.
Walk away,
The night I walked away.
Such a fool,
How could I have known, how could I have known...
That I'm not your Prince Charming,
This isn't that kind of story.
I can't be the boy that picks you up in a limo wearing a fancy suit.
This isn't your prom night, this is a date gone wrong,
I knew I wasn't the one for you all along.
So it's too late for me,
And this red rose, to get you back...
I guess I was a fool,
Stuck on your beauty,
But reality never let me have you.
I apologize, wasn't aware to have happiness,
You had to suffocate before you could taste the air.
I lost so much time,
Making you mine.
Fairytales are fake,
I know now.
That I'm not your Prince Charming,
This isn't that kind of story.
I can't be the boy that picks you up in a limo wearing a fancy suit.
This isn't your prom night, this is a date gone wrong,
I knew I wasn't the one for you all along.
So it's too late for me,
And this red rose, to get you back...
Now here I am looking at your face,
Asking for a kiss, asking for a taste.
Exactly what you wanted, but now that's not the case...
'Cause I'm not your Prince Charming,
This isn't that kind of story.
You'll find a knight and shining armor one day who won't break your heart.
It wasn't your prom night, it was a date gone wrong,
You knew this would happen all along.
So it's too late for me and this red rose.
So it's too late for me,
And this red rose, to bring you back.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh,
Attempt to bring you back.
No, it's so late,
To bring you back...

This is a parody I wrote of "White Horse" by Taylor Swift.
